Classical and quantum pictures of reaction dynamics in condensed matter: resonances, dephasing, and all that

摘要: A remarkably rich picture of the dynamics chemical reactions in condensed-phase systems has emerged recent years. The interplay friction, electronic nonadiabaticity, and intramolecular energy flow have been elucidated by use pictures based on classical trajectories. authors review qualitative ideas that picture. There are some significant limitations approach to reaction arise from quantum interference effects. Using a trajectory along with superposition principle, they give arguments describing how transmission coefficient for nonadiabatic barrier crossing can be affected resonances. They highlight connections differences between friction mechanical dephasing effects crossing. also discuss relation this trajectory-based traditional language radiationless processes Golden Rule master equations.
